get_upload_id

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It implies a read operation (tracking progress) but does not explicitly state read-only nature, auth requirements, or side effects. Error codes hint at failure conditions but insufficient for transparency.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two succinct sentences: one for purpose, one for error codes. No unnecessary fluff. Front-loaded with core functionality.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite having an output schema (content unknown), description lacks essential context: param format, expected behaviour of tracking, or relationship to upload lifecycle. Incomplete for a single-param tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema has one required parameter 'id' with no description. Schema description coverage is 0%, yet description does not explain what 'id' refers to (e.g., upload ID). Falls short of compensating for schema gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description states 'track the progress of your FileUpload task', which is a specific verb and resource. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like 'get_upload' (which likely lists uploads) or clarify that this tool retrieves details for a single upload by ID.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The sibling list includes many get_ and delete_ tools, but description offers no context for selection. Error codes are provided but irrelevant for usage decisions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
